We've completed the majority of our lane striping work on I-94 between St. Paul and Maplewood, and just in time for some anticipated wintery weather later this week.However, this project’s not done yet! We’re still working in the area through mid-November, and there are some necessary traffic impacts that will coincide with this work.

Road closureToday (Oct. 26) throughTue, Oct. 31

Hudson Pl. to McKnight Rd is closed to allow construction crews to complete finishing touches. The detour for neighborhood traffic is Hudson Pl. to Crestview Dr. to Brookview Dr. to Century Ave.

Ramp closure updatesThe following ramps are now open to traffic:

White Bear Ave. to WB I-94

Hudson Rd. to WB I-94 (the far east on-ramp in front of 3M)

New–7 a.m. to 7 p.m.Mon, Oct. 30

These closures are necessary to allow crews to remove the temporary merge area and install curb and gutter at the bottom of each entrance ramp.Through early November

SB Hwy 61/Etna St. to EB I-94 and NB Hwy 61 to EB I-94 are closed. Crews are installing curb and gutter and repaving the entrance ramp.

The right lane on northbound Hwy 120/Century Ave. from Brookview Dr. to 3M/Innovation Rd. hastemporarily re-opened. However, sometime early next week, crews will need to again close the right lane to pave the multi-use trail and to install a railing in the area under the I-94 overpass. This is anticipated to be a one-day closure.Also,expect brief left lane closures on Hwy 120/Century Ave. between Brookview Dr. and 3M/Innovation Rd. onMon, Oct. 30 and Tues, Oct. 31to allow crews to reconstruct the medians both north and south of the interstate.Note:Motorists will have at least one travel lane in both directions on Hwy 120/Century Ave. at all times during this work.We will provide an update as more information and approximate time frames become available.
